Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about getting an at home fall risk assessment. Many chronic health conditions can increase the risk of falling.  Therefore a home assessment enables a care professional to see where the hazards exist. Therapists and home health professionals can develop a care plan to increase your balance and teach you strategies to mitigate the risk of injury.

In fact, using the right medical equipment for transferring from sitting to standing and the right mobility aid to get around will increase your ability to perform many daily activities with confidence.  Lastly, use our home safety check-up for a room-by-room evaluation.
